Подмышка
Подмышка is a fun word. The prefix под- means under, and the root мыш- means mouse. Thus подмышка means armpit, and doesn't that little bit of hair under your arm kind of look like a mouse? Sample sentences:
| Зачем нужна подмышка? Почему она потеет? (source) | Why do you need an armpit? Why does it sweat? |
| У меня под левой подмышкой какое-то воспаление ввиде шарика. (source) | I have some kind of ball-shaped inflamation under my left armpit. |
| А ну-ка, давай подмышку, будем мерить температуру! (adapted from this source) | Well, now, give me your armpit. We're going to measure your temperature! |
| — Можно я посмотрю на твою подмышку? — На мою подмышку? — Это моя любимая часть женского тела. |
“Do you mind if I look at your armpit?” “My armpit?” “It's my favorite part of a woman's body.”¹ |
¹ From the movie “Flirting with Disaster.”
